Are you not aware of the "current zeitgeist of 'wokeness' or SJW concerns," as Kurtin put it? Pointing out that it exists is as far as I'm willing to go on that issue because explaining why the zeitgeist is, is not an appropriate subject for the forum.
Kindler:
I don't know if anyone was offended by it. I'm not. I couldn't care less. It's just an odd choice in the current climate to tag some panels by gender, but not all of them. I mean, adding "Female," "Male," and "Mixed" tags would, theoretically, circumvent any potential "outrage."

Agreed.

Of course I'm aware of it, but I don't get it in relation to this panel. As I pointed out a few posts above, there were quite a lot of "Women of..." panels and no one bats an eye at those.
Unless it's now socially taboo to have something be labeled "male something" or "Men of", when it's socially acceptable when it correlates to the female gender. And that would be quite the sexist double standard, wouldn't it now? So I hope people are better than that.

Having those panels does indeed make a significant difference to the context of having a "male-" labeled panel. I hadn't seen that 'til the info came up just a bit upthread.
